lhb HAIRY BOY THINKS OF PREACHING.
Iight-rope walkers receive $50. Those
who can do some extraordinary feat, such
as riding bicycle on the tight rope, all re-
celye more The performers are mostly
women and are usually advanced in life be-
fore they begin their perilous work. In
their palmy days most of them We're ballet
dancers. 1t is noticed this season the tight
rope walkers are not in great demand. The
public has tired of them and the ''profes-
sion" is overcrowded. In fact the business
has fallen off SO much that tight-rope walk
ers In the streets of the small cities and
towns only attract moderate crowds. Stroll
ing walkers fasten their rope from one build
ing to another and give free exhibitions.
After the performance they pass the hat and
depend upon the pennies received for their
livelihood
Clog dancing is also declining. Clog
dancers can be had at small figures. On
the Bowery they can be picked up by the
hundred. The proprietoTs of the variety
theatres in the Bowery have a saying that
IF you want good clog dancer go out into
the street and whistle and you'll have a
dozen to pick from in q minute" The cheap
lodging houses all have dancers among their
dodgers. In truth, 1t may be said that
many of them dance for their meals, dance
for their drinks and dance for their lodg-
lngs The best of them usually go in pairs
and receive S. per night conformity for
their services. The best clog dancer in the
country, Marcus Doyle, receives only $40
per week when under engagement Eccen-
trio acrobats like the Happy Hottentots"
are paid well. They must combine many
marvellous faculties The Nelson family
are said to receive $500 weekly.
Burnt cork artists are numerous and cheap.
They can be had from $40 to $50 per week.
Those who receive more than the latter sum
must be able to do several acts
Concert singers are paid different salaries.
1t depends upon the singers ability and his
or her reputation. Those of the character
that appear in gardens and saloons get little
or nothing. They are usually paid SO much
per song, A fair singer, dressed in tawdry,
who smiles and smirks behind the footlights,
gets PERHAPS 50 per song Five dollars is
considered an exorbitant charge. The men
who mimic the features of celebrities by
means of a quick facial gift and rapid ex-
change of wigs and whiskers are paid about
So for performance.

Freaks or fakes, as | call them, have killed

THE MARKET FOR FREAKS
A COLLECTION OF LIVING CURIos
IN THEIR MARKET PLACE.

Eairy Boys, Chinese Giants, Fat Women,
Elastic Skin Men, Fire Eaters, Sword
Swallowers, Clowns, Clog Dancers,
Bareback Riders, Variety Theatre
Performers, and How They Are En-
gagged and Paid.
New YORK, Aug. 6.-New York is tie
great market-place for freaks. The Bowerv
is the Mecca of the Chinese giant, the hairy
hoy from Burmah, the India rubber man.
the Chicago girl with big feet, the living
skeleton and the man who is going to swim
the whirlpool at Niagara. Once each year.
usually in July or August, the great family
of monsrosities come to New York They
blister their feet walking here from every
corner of the United States They walk
I'D and down the busy street in the scorch-
ing sun waiting for managers to engage
them for the next winter. The Bowery is
the freaks exchange. 1t is to him what the
Stock Exchange or the Board of Trade is
TO the stock OF wheat broker All are ON q
level ON the Bowery. The man who can
masticaJe pound of glass in fifteen seconds
is no better than the boy who swallows nee
dies. The fat woman, although drug in
the market, holds her nose as high in the air
as the fair dame who coils snakes around
her neck.
The Bowery is great leveler.
The Chinese giant is of no more import
ance than the woman who has not spoken a
word since the day she was weaned To be
sure, the latter is good deal of a rarity,
but until the be-diamonded and oleaginous
dime museum dealer appears and the freak
signs his or her contract for the next season
all are on an equality.
The managers flock here in droves during
July They come from Oshkosh, New Jer-
sey, Buffalo, Boston and other places where
Culture sits on pedestal. They are on the
alert for novelties. They want to get them
cheap. The important freaks are engaged
first A few staple freaks are engaged for
the season, and lazy boys, fat women, giants,
Brooklyn bridge jumpers, the man without
tongue and other stars are signed to APP
pear at intervals.
How are theys Is it profitable to be a
freak2
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-08-07

Well, yes, considering
Fat men and women are paid according
to their weight The average pay is about
$50 per week. Very heavy men or women
get as high as $50 Beginners receive from
$50 to S25, and are advanced as they become
heavier. Circassian girls are not profitable.
1t doesn't really pay to be Circassian girl
now The market is fiat at $50 to S25 per
week. Tattooed men come little higher.
They can be obtained for SIS per week, but
the genuine article readily brings $40 per
week
1T don't pay to do tattoo now" said one
OF these gentry yesterday. "A mans got
to be way up in the act or he'll be crowded
out. think I'll try the India rubber act
or the pie-eatin' racket. l can get 500
week for eatin' twenty pies day. It's great,
pard."
India rubber men come high. They are
not numerous. They are always good draw
ing cards. 1t isn't every one who can be
rubber man. 1t is hard work and is great
strain on the beginner. Still it is profitable
Experts receive 800 per week. Hairy boys
from Burmah are also in demand. They
receive 800 per week. Men who cali eat
glass are not rare nowadays, and it really
doesn't pay to go into the business. First
class glass eaters get only 800 per week. It's
great strain on a man to eat glass. Sword
swallowing is more profitable A woman
who can eat sword after sword until she is
gorged gets $40 per week and is in great
contrast TO Chicago girls with big feet.
Years ago such women were rare, but the
bull market in the staple has been fiattened
out and they can be had now for S12 weekly.
The supply of bridge jumpers exceeds the
demand and can be had for 81 day Fire
eaters are paid $50 weekly. Snake charmers
get as high as 500 The man with the iron
Jaw is very numerous. He is quoted at $40

AN INCIDENT OF TWO DOGS.
One Was Dignified and the Other Was
Dirty and Vulgar.
From the Hartford Couront.


Coming up State street small dog with
thick coat of mud and tremendous voice,
kept Just in advance Of his owner in q
wagon, and barked like mad, now just be-
fore the horse, now at one side, but never
more than few feet from his head. He
covered great deal Of ground for every
100 feet that the horse logged on, and was
thoroughly dirty, vaGahond, alert and
happy. Down the sidewalk in the opposite
direction came a large, majestic dog of
aristocratic demeanor, his nose well in the
air, and with the look of a society
man Of large fortune When the
little dirty oog, full of animal spirits, saw
that dignified object he fell on him tooth,
nail and bark, especially bark, with aston
ishing suddenness and vigor. 1t is prob
ably impossible by mere description to give
an adequate notion of the look of amaze
ment and disgust that came over the big
dogs face at such treatment by such an oh
ject But or lily ind ference was no match
for the situa Jon, and the big dog had to
fight like any ordinary street dog in the
mud No doubt the little ono would have
had the worst of it, but he saw the horse
which claimed his first attention getting
further and further away, and cut the
battle short as suddenly us he had begun it,
The last thing the spectators saw was one
dog recovering his dignity and the other
disporting himself in the mud near the
horse, us If nothing had happened.
